Prince William visits scenes of natural disasters in Australia

Yesterday I spent an interesting evening at Cheam School and the Swan pub. While there I made an Australian connection which I would like to connect with Prince William's visit.

John Hart spoke about British history at Cheam and electrified the young students. We hope to have more to say about the project developed by John and historian Rupert Willougby in the near future. Two visitors from Australia, father and son, joined us at the Swan. They had both endured a recent personal loss.

The gallantry of the Aussies made me feel that Prince William, currently visiting the scenes of natural disasters in Australia, was in very good hands.

Allegedly unwritten, but called "the most stupendous fabric of human invention" in the world, and extremely important to your well-being, no matter where you dwell.
